How can we end Poverty?

Join the Global Conversation with UNDP Administrator Helen Clark on Facebook: In the run-up to the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Summit in September, UNDP Administrator Helen Clark will host a live, online Facebook conversation on the global fight against poverty and the actions required to achieve sustainable development. The conversation, the first of its kind to be hosted by UNDP, aims to engage the public on the MDGs and the action plan that will be discussed by world leaders during the upcoming Summit.   

During the Facebook conversation, Helen Clark will be online answering questions about the MDGs and discussing their achievement with any member of the general public. Throughout the Summit, Miss Clark will also use the UNDP Twitter account to update the public on the latest developments and outcomes.  She will sign her personal tweets with “^HC”.
